Ok, I figured it out. I'm not using any binaries, fink installed everything (mySQL, Zope and python 2.1)
When I commanded 'python setup.py build' it tried to use Apple's Python and I get the weird i386 problem. When I commanded '/sw/bin/python2.1 setup.py build' it uses the python from Fink. I don't get the -i386 problem. HOWEVER, the default setup.py in MySQL-python-0.9.2.tgz which I downloaded from it's official home at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python DOES NOT WORK! To get MySQL-python-0.9.2.tgz to build and install correctly I had to make the following changes to setup.py and then remember to use /sw/bin/python2.1 for build and install. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- >>>>scroll down to the line mysqlclient = thread_safe_library and "mysqlclient_r" or "mysqlclient" >>>>remove the words "mysqlclient_r" or >>>>scroll down to the section elif sys.platform[:6] == "darwin": # Mac OS X include_dirs.append('/sw/include') library_dirs.append('/sw/lib') extra_link_args.append('-flat_namespace') >>>>Change it to replace the previous definitions elif sys.platform[:6] == "darwin": # Mac OS X include_dirs = ['/sw/include/mysql'] library_dirs = ['/sw/lib/mysql'] extra_link_args.append('-flat_namespace') -------------------------------------------------- Thanks to baiewola for the clues http://zope-mosx.zopeonarope.com/Members/baiewola/ Many thanks to all who responded. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
